Acclaimed rock group Blondie, featuring Debbie Harry, performed at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Greenvale on Long Island.
A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Debbie Harry kicked off their upbeat set on a sassy note with the spitfire « One Way or Another, » and it was followed by « Hanging on the Telephone » and « Fun. »
They continued with their powerhouse hits « Call Me » and « Rapture, » where everybody was singing along with them. Front-woman Debbie Harry showcased her rich, raspy vocals on « Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, » where she tipped her hat to the iconic musician Bob Dylan.
Other noteworthy tunes included « Fragments, » « Too Much » and « Long Time. » After « Maria, » they closed with « Atomic » and their popular hit « Heart of Glass, » where they got the crowd on their feet, clapping along. Their hypnotic version of « Heart of Glass » earned a tremendous response from the Tilles Center audience.
For their encore, the rock band returned to the stage for the mid-tempo yet melodically stunning « Dreaming, » as blue lights dimmed from the stage, as well as their signature tune « The Tide is High. » Harry blew multiple kisses to the audience as she left the stage.
